dubia roach colony questions
Anybody got any tips? Would they do alright/breed at room temp if I kept the humidity up? Are water crystals good to use? What should I keep them in?? I was thinking I'd start with 20 medium roaches and see how that goes. I just want a small colony, ya know
I'm planning on feeding them to my tarantulas and hopefully having a thriving colony by the time I get my monitor in 6 ish months 😛
Correct me if I'm wrong about anything please!
Re: dubia roach colony questions
If you use a cleaning crew you don't need to clean your tubs often at all for any roaches. Just add dermestids if waste is building up. The nymphs will burrow in the refuse/ substrate. Another good roach tip is to mix a bunch of dry food with coco husk for substrate, add thin slices of oranges once a week and as long as the temps are above 80 they will reproduce, optimum reproduction seems to be around 84-85 for discoids, Dubia are similar.
